1st --Do You Have To Stand There?

Actually, I was glad Greg provided his silhouette for this picture.
We are members of a camera club and fortuitously had an excursion to The Great Ocean Road, about 3 hours drive from Melbourne, this weekend.
Even more fortuitously, the drizzling rain that had gradually soaked us yesterday afternoon lifted at sunset.
All three of these shots were taken at the Bay of Martyrs.
The underlighting of the clouds only lasted a couple of minutes and I have reduced the colour saturation because a "straight" processing of the raw file looked unnaturally intense.

It is hardly possible to improve on this. Such amazingly strong leading lines all go towards the other photographer. Stunning in all aspects. Well done.

Nico composition, good capture of the colors in the sky, and the reflections in the water add a nice touch. I like this one a lot.

"The Old Man And The Sea" was my first thought. No, it is Greg and his tripod. He really stands on the perfect place for a good composition. Outstanding image, Michael. -Gerald
